before even playing this map i can already see some problems. you polygons dont overlap all the time so players WILL get stuck in them. over all it looks..... well newbieish some clasic newbie things like the triangle bits of land, how the caves are arranged, the fact that its quite large wouldnt help games with players numbers of 5 downwards, its not very bot friendly (lots of things bots could and would get stuck on if there were any) but... i have to say its alright for a first map. it took me about 3 or 4 get actully get the hang on it all, and about 2 more to get my botting working well. :)

darac: u got a point there.
djlvi: i suggest u use a texture, or u use the unofficial map editor. but still, its ur first map, and first maps can never be perfect, so, i iwsh u good luck on ur other maps.

One more thing.... if u want to upload screenshots, use jpg format cause it compess the file size so ur picture will be more small size and not waste the webspace... ur map look good from far btw
